A slightly more moderate version.
As I've suggested elsewhere: make ubiquitous broadband access happen. Then we can have telecommuting and telepresence, and cut way down on business travel.
Just think. Instead of battling through to the airport, waiting for your flight, cramming yourself into that seat, hunting for your luggage, dragging your cramped up carcass to the rental agency, driving through an unfamiliar city to that damn trade show, you can just sit at home and log on. Chat with your local warm body in the booth via teleconferencing. Answer attendees' questions the same way. (They don't have to be there either.) Upload emergency software patches. And if you've got spare cycles, jump from one webcam to the next and take in the other exhibits. Which needn't all be in the same convention center, or even the same city, by the way. In fact, your local warm body and his display booth could be a thirty minute drive away.
Of course it's not the same. That's the point. And it's way safer. And let's be honest. Vegas is way overrated.
